on the Cover
Dr. Jeremy Hall, a geophysicist with Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) Earth Sciences Department, points out interesting features in a subsurface seismic block. The Landmark Graphics Visualization Laboratory is located in the Earth Sciences Department at MUN. A significant increase in offshore oil and gas exploration and production off Newfoundland's coast in recent years has boosted the local economy, provided increased funding for the academic community, and allowed MUN to create this new 3-D facility. See story on page 32.
